Appearance
Ceramic brackets are chosen partly for their less noticeable look. Ask how the full appliance will appear in your plan.

01 / UnderstandingA closer look at
A closer look at
Clear Ceramic Braces.
Clear ceramic braces use tooth-colored or translucent brackets with a wire to guide tooth movement. They are less visually prominent than traditional metal brackets for many patients.
The right choice depends on your treatment needs, appliance placement, preferences, and the care required. Dr. Peralta can compare them with metal braces and clear aligners.

Details that shape
your plan.
Your clinical needs and practical questions both belong in the discussion.
Suitability
The proposed tooth movements and bite determine whether ceramic braces are appropriate.
Care
Like other fixed braces, they require careful cleaning and attention to food and appliance instructions.

Good things
to ask.
Bring any questions specific to your smile or your child’s care.
Are clear ceramic braces removable?
No. They are fixed braces. If a removable option interests you, ask about clear aligners.
Are they appropriate for everyone?
Not necessarily. A clinical evaluation helps determine which bracket material and treatment approach are suitable.
